Mrs. Claus worries about flu season. After all, I cannot be sick for the big day! I do not want to let anyone down Christmas morning!

Yes, I have to stay in tip-top shape! The elves and I need to be our best to make toys. The reindeer and I have to be ready to bring gifts on Christmas Eve. And of course, I have to stay healthy… just in case the elves want to have a snowball fight!

So Nurse Nice made a special visit to the workshop. She came to give us our flu shots.

Some of the elves were a little worried about getting their flu shot. Nurse Nice could see they were a bit afraid.

She made the elves feel better with a little chat. “Elves, have you ever been sick?” One by one, they all put up their hands.

“Is it fun being sick?” she asked.

“Oh, no!” the elves replied, “not at all!”

“Is it better to be really sick for a long time,” asked Nurse Nice. “Or, is it better to have a quick shot now?”

The elves did not want to miss ANY of the fun at Christmas so they all asked for their shots. They were still a little afraid, but they knew a shot was the right thing to do.

Nurse Nice then gave each elf a music toy. They held it while they got their shot. When they were done they all played Christmas songs together!

The elves liked holding the toy. It reminded them to wait for something better. They also really like feeling good at Christmas (almost as much as they like snowball fights!).

And I had my flu shot too! I do NOT want to be sick Christmas Eve!

Merry Christmas!

Santa Claus

hi santa! i think it is great for you and the elves got their flu shots. i recomend you give the reindeer flu shots too, you dont want them to be sick, do you santa?

RebekahDecember 14th, 2011 at 10:31 am

This isn’t about the flu shot but it is about a shot. last night on 12/13/ll I step on a board that was sharp and got a 1 and a half inch splinter and i had to go to the doctors and had to get a num shot on the bottom of my foot and it hurt alittle but not to much so I guess thats how the elves felt when they got there flu shot. ( they were scared and I was scared.)

BrookeDecember 14th, 2011 at 12:41 pm

last time i had a shot was 2 years ago
i might have another one soon
they dont hurt much
the needle is like a tube that drops a drop of
medicine

meghanDecember 14th, 2011 at 1:13 pm

that’sgood santa

DesireeDecember 14th, 2011 at 1:15 pm

i think flu shots hurt. but it has to be done!

HannahDecember 14th, 2011 at 1:16 pm

hi santa i have just read about your flu shots it is not nie to have flu.

brookeDecember 14th, 2011 at 1:21 pm

i do not get flu shots, but i do think that it is good that you and thhe elves to get flu shots. does mrs. claus get her flu shots? i think that it was very kind of nurse nice to give the elves music toys.

KaitlinDecember 14th, 2011 at 2:08 pm

YOU are a very smart man Santa, because you got your flu shot. I got mine in September!

heatherDecember 14th, 2011 at 2:10 pm

dear santa i think it a good idea to get a flu shots but i go to the doctor tomorrow for my check up and meds i am sarcd about ful shots i dont want to get one

JessaDecember 14th, 2011 at 3:48 pm

I think that it is good that you and the elves got your flu shots. Did you know that the big word for flu is influenza? That is the word I spelled correctly and won my spelling bee.

JennaLorDecember 14th, 2011 at 5:49 pm

Dear Santa,i think that if you go get a flu shot you wont get the flu on Christmas Eve.When i got the shot it didnt hurt at all.she told me to relax my arm.if you go get your flu shot,relax your arm.all it feels like is a tiny ball going in your skin.

LeahDecember 14th, 2011 at 6:06 pm

I think it’s great you got your flu shot! I get my flu shot every year and it keeps me from getting sick. I bet the elves felt tired after they got their shot. And, Mr. Claus, I am SO glad you got your flu shot. I promise it will always keep you healthy for Christmas!

SammieDecember 14th, 2011 at 6:52 pm

dear santa,
I think it is awesome that u got ur flu shot! I am so proud of all the elves too. I dont want to get sick either…so i want a flu shot!

GeorgiaDecember 15th, 2011 at 4:04 am

ello santa is so nice he sent me a letter to me about what i said to him with a letter

Dear Santa I hate flu shots you and the elves are brave enough to have them xxxx

ToddDecember 15th, 2011 at 12:59 pm

Dear Santa,
I am so glad you got you flu shot… tell the elves that it is normal to afraid of getting a needle. I am 6 years old and i was terrified to get my very first flu shot …..

HoldenDecember 15th, 2011 at 4:46 pm

why not get the flu mist

FaithDecember 15th, 2011 at 7:22 pm

Dear Santa, I think it is good to get a flu shot so you won’t be sick! And it is good that you and the elves got yours!! I am very proud of you elves!! Hahaha

kasandraDecember 16th, 2011 at 2:35 am

AnonymousDecember 16th, 2011 at 12:54 pm

i want santa to be feling well so he better get that flu shot

CourtneyDecember 16th, 2011 at 9:35 pm

Ti is ok everyone hates flue shots.

larissaDecember 17th, 2011 at 6:49 pm

I think it is good for everyone to get flu shots, so we don’t get sick. If we get sick the germs might spread, and its no fun to be sick.

CarmenDecember 17th, 2011 at 10:46 pm

Santa, please remind the elves that it is better to get one shot than to be sick forever. My mommy told me that and I jumped right up there and told my doctor to give that shot and give it quick.

ellianaDecember 17th, 2011 at 10:56 pm

dear santa ,
i think it is best for you to get a flu shot because,that means you wounldn’t be sick for christmas.
from,elliana.
p.s why do elves have pointy ears.
p.ss how do you make the toys in 11 mounths.

arianaDecember 18th, 2011 at 11:40 am

It is good that you want to stay well for the big day. Im certin that there will be a lot of disappointed boys and girls if you got sick and werent able to give them all the toys they wanted. We dont want that to happen. So keep getting your flu shot so you wont get sick.

TuckerDecember 18th, 2011 at 8:44 pm

santa nurse nice shouldve made a special antibiotic with a speicial flavor for them to drink to prevent thr flu

John PaulDecember 18th, 2011 at 9:43 pm

Yes i think it was good you and the elves got the flu shots because if you were sick the elves couldn’t make the presents and you couldn’t deliver them. It is good to get a flu shot so you won’t contract any diseases and you won’t stay sick for a long time

annemariaDecember 19th, 2011 at 2:26 pm

your a great santa claus i been good so cool

GabrielleDecember 19th, 2011 at 4:50 pm

I am glad ou and the elfs got the flu shots. even though i hate shots i would still get them because i would hate to be sick on the big day.

HeatherDecember 19th, 2011 at 6:36 pm

I had to get my flu shot, even though I had to lie down so that I wouldn’t faint.

kahlahDecember 19th, 2011 at 7:18 pm

kahlah

NanaDecember 19th, 2011 at 8:27 pm

BetseyDecember 20th, 2011 at 11:13 am

It’s not that bad it’s just a quick pinch, just look the other way. I was very worried about mine it ddn’t hurt at all, it felt like someone tapped me. After I got it I laughed.

I didn’t get a flu shot i got a nosil spray, it smelt like a spring meadow. But for all of you who hate shots the spray is nice.

P.S. Santa you might want to try the spray for some of the younger elves.

erynnApril 28th, 2013 at 6:52 pm
